Yes, but it's a "SMALL"

Notice the uppershock mount is thru the top tube!

It's listed at 19" (which is wrong) but 'SMALLS" fit like a 16"....just a heads up to anyone who would want it.

I STILL WANT YOURS, Terry!

Are you sure about that? I thought they started at 16" with the small, and that a Large was 20". Way Big should be something more like 21-22. Most manufacturer's Large frames are 19-20". I could be wrong... Then again, K2 frames are not "typical" sizes because the BB to top of seat tube length doesn't change much from size to size. My medium and large 5000s are both exactly 20" in this regard. The only difference between them is the top tube length (22" and 23").

My 18" 856 is a medium.

i am sure.The small or 14 inch frame always had the shock body buried in the gusset,and required a special shock.

from the "957 frame assembly pdf"
note the numbers at the end of the part no

the 14" is the way small - and usually the shock is way broken.  When we were making the old Long Travel Kits we were astounded that this frame doesn't have quite the correct shock path travel and it bends slightly!!!!

i have a 957 collecting dust (it's a medium) may consider selling it one day (if i could find a good home for it...)
just a thought though...
